PRESIDENT FOX: (As translated.) Good morning. Thank you for your
interest and your presence and attendance. We have come to an end in
this productive meeting, as you well know, with bilateral meetings
yesterday, and today a trilateral meeting, a very productive one,
followed by an enlarged meeting, trilateral-wise, with the attendance of
the entrepreneurial community, business and investment of our three
countries. Consequently, we will give you full information.

I would like to ask the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, to
make some comments.

PRIME MINISTER HARPER: (As translated.) Thank you. Thank you, President
Fox. And ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank President Fox, first of
all. It was a pleasure to meet President Fox and President Bush to
discuss issues of importance to our countries and our common will to
work together.

In North America we have an economy that is integrated; it is not
necessary to differentiate our products. And we have discussed the
progress accomplished in the Security and Prosperity Partnership of
North America, and we are committed to considering the private sector.
First of all, we believe that it is an engine of competitiveness, made
up of members of the private sector that will allow us to make our
economies even more competitive.

Our ministers will be working on this. They will be identifying our
priorities and they will make sure that they are followed up. We will be
cooperating on issues of importance -- on border security, management of
urgent situations, as well as energy security. We will prepare a
coordinated and exhaustive way to approach the issues of the bird flu,
and we will be guided by common principles. Over the course of the next
few months, we will be doing everything possible to ensure the security
along our borders and to be able to move our merchandise back and forth.
We will be working in the area of energy, the area of research and
innovation, to be able to deal with clean technologies.

We are happy with the discussions of our trade ministers on cooperation
and of the negotiation of our countries, and we encourage them to follow
up with this work.

This meeting has been extremely productive. And Presidents Bush and Fox
have accepted my invitation for the next summit meeting, which will take
place in Canada in 2007.

(Prime Minister Harper begins speaking in English.) -- grateful for our
host, President Fox, and to the workers here at the hotel and the
Mexican people for their warm hospitality.

Over the past two days, I've had the pleasure of meeting with President
Fox and President Bush to discuss issues that jointly affect our three
nations. I've been encouraged by the common will of our three nations.
We are living today in an integrated economy. We cannot afford the
politics of isolation.

During my meetings with Presidents Bush and Fox, we reviewed the
progress of our Security and Prosperity Partnership, which provides a
framework to advance the common interests in areas of security,
prosperity and quality of life.

We committed to further engage the private sector. We've agreed to set
up a North American Competitiveness Council, made up of business leaders
from all three countries, to advise us on ways to improve the
competitiveness of our economies. They will meet with our ministers,
identify priorities, and make sure we follow up and implement them.

We agreed to expand our existing cooperation on key issues such as
border security, emergency management and energy security. As an
immediate priority, we'll develop a coordinated and comprehensive
approach to preparing for a possible avian or pandemic influenza
outbreak in North America. Our action will be guided by shared
principles. We'll take concrete steps in the coming 24 months to improve
the security at our borders and to ensure the smooth and efficient flow
of goods and people, particularly -- with particular discussions with
President Bush on the Windsor-Detroit Corridor.

We'll collaborate on energy, especially with respect to innovation and
science and technology, with the focus on clean technologies. We also
welcome the discussions -- the recent discussions by our trade ministers
on NAFTA collaboration on trade negotiations with third countries. And
we urge that this work be given priority.

These talks were productive. And I'm, of course, very pleased that
President Bush and President Fox have accepted my invitation to have the
next leaders' meeting in Canada in 2007.

Thank you.

PRESIDENT FOX: President Bush.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you for your hospitality. It's a really good
choice to pick Cancun -- as my press corps will tell you. They've been
looking forward to staying by the pool after I leave. (Laughter.) It's a
beautiful -- beautiful part of the country.

I want to thank you for your friendship, as well. It's been a joy
discussing very important issues with you over the course of my
presidency. And this is probably one of the most productive meetings
we've had. It's been a pleasure to meet with Prime Minister Harper in
his official capacity as the Prime Minister of Canada. I find him to be
a very open, straightforward fellow. If he's got a problem, he's willing
to express it in a way that's clear for all to understand. And that's
the way I like to deal with people.

We've got big goals for this very important relationship. One goal is
prosperity. You can't achieve a standard of living increase for your
people unless you have a prosperous neighborhood, and it's this
prosperity that has been much of a focus on NAFTA. And one of my vows,
and I know the other leaders share this goal, is to make sure that
people are able to connect the NAFTA relationship with improvement of
their own quality of life.

I know there's deep concern about social justice throughout the
neighborhood, and social justice can be achieved more likely if people
are able to realize their dreams, and if there's a prosperous society.
And prosperity has been increased as a result of the trade between our
nations. And we want to make sure that trade continues in a way that's
fair and free, but also in a way that enables our countries to be able
to compete with the great challenges we face.

And we face prosperity challenges from abroad like never before -- the
challenge of a growing Chinese economy, or the challenge of an Indian
economy. And my attitude is, we shouldn't fear these challenges, we
ought to welcome them, and position ourselves so that we can compete.
And I think the leaders share that sense of unity when it comes to being
a competitive part of the world in the future.

We talked about security. Look, we got long borders, and we got to make
sure we work hard to secure the borders. We also have got to make sure
we got smart borders. And so the whole vision of our borders has got to
be to enhance trade and tourism, but to prevent smugglers and terrorists
and dope runners from polluting our countries. And I'm confident, with
the use of technology and by close collaboration, we'll be able to
achieve those objectives.

I want to thank the CEOs and the business leaders from the three
countries who are here. I thought we had a very constructive discussion
about ways to make sure that there is harmonization between our
industries so that people benefit. And they brought some really good
ideas.

We talked about, of course, bird flu, avian flu, and the need to be
prepared in case there is an outbreak. We spend a lot of time in my own
country preparing for an avian flu outbreak, strategizing as how to
coordinate efforts between the federal, state and local governments,
working to wisely spend money to come up with, hopefully, a vaccine that
would then be available for sharing around the world. And I do want to
thank Canada for having taken the lead early in this issue and preparing
the world for what is possible so that there's good information-sharing
if the bird flu were to break out in Southeast Asia, for example.

But my point is, it's very important for us to share information and
data and strategies amongst our three countries so that if this were to
happen, there is a focused, coordinated, intelligent response.

We talked about energy. My view of the energy initiative is that we've
got to be wise about the resources we have and be smart about the
investment for research and development so we can change our energy
habits. The truth of the matter is we'll all be better off if we use
alternative sources of energy, like ethanol, or explore how to use
hybrid batteries in a better way. I mean, there's some really
interesting things coming down the pike, and I look forward to not only
leading my own nation to spend money to be on the leading edge of
technological change when it comes to energy, but also sharing those
technologies and ideas with our counterparts. Because we want to make
sure that we've got national security concerns addressed when it comes
to energy; we also want to be good stewards of the environment -- and we
can do both by the use of proper technologies.

It's been a good meeting. I want to thank you for your leadership. I
like coming to meetings where people put things on the table and we try
to come up with solutions. And this has been such a meeting, Mr.
President. Good job.

PRESIDENT FOX: (As translated.) Thank you. Thank you so much.
Undoubtedly, these two days have brought about space for meeting of both
friends and partners, and undoubtedly, we have made a very good use of
time.

The visit to Chichen-Itza was excellent, as well as yesterday evening's
dinner, in a relaxed atmosphere, but, likewise, creating this
association and making a very productive association, equally important
for the different working meetings.

We took advantage of time, we were not working isolated. We touched upon
fundamental items in that meeting. First of all, we carried out an
evaluation meeting. Then we got information about the development of
programs. And then we gave the necessary instructions for the works that
should be carried out in the next period of work.

This is a most important thing and this association has become a dynamic
and professional process, a constructive process, a short-term action
process, and great vision and perspective in a long-term. Consequently,
we have concluded that institutionalizing all these mechanisms is of
utmost importance so that they will have continuity, so that there will
be a follow-up -- a necessary follow-up, so that they will be fruitful
both at a short-, middle-, and long-term.

So we have established the next meeting. The Prime Minister of Canada
has suggested and has invited us to Canada. Next June, we shall have,
let's say, an information, evaluation and results study of the work of
this association, this Security and Prosperity Partnership. And we have
carried out a series of actions that should be integrated in this
report.

First of all, I would like to make clear what has been the results of 12
years of joint work in the Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA. The three
nations are fully satisfied of what we have been able to achieve. We
have seen the fruits of work through this tool of cooperation, trade and
investment. Nonetheless, we're not fully satisfied. We have to give
steps forward. We have many an opportunity and many a challenge.

I want to mention two figures in reference to the results of NAFTA.
Mexico has a commercial balance trade of $535 billion, the seventh in
size throughout the world. And these would be a direct product of both
trade and investment that has been carried out among the three partner
countries. And then we should point out that every single state, border
states with the United States had per capita income to December as of
last year that go beyond to $10,000. The per capita average income has
to do with $7,500 -- the highest in Latin America. Nonetheless, the
borderline states are above $10,000 per capita income. And some of them
have a per capita rate to $10,000.

We're not talking about small numbers, small figures; we're talking
about a concrete result of the efforts and work through trade. It is
achieved through investment and, likewise, it is achieved through joint
work, everybody's work. Behind all this, there's nothing else but work,
work and work.

Now I would like to mention a couple of items in the goals. First,
strengthen and maintain growing the Free Trade Agreement, first of all.
Benefits are evident, but before the new reality of the 21st century, we
have decided to give steps forward and strengthen the relationship. Now
we have the alliance both for security and prosperity. One item is as
important as the other -- shared responsibility an important element --
one as important as the other. And that is what the three countries
think.

We started with the constitution of the North American Competitiveness
Council, so as to consider public and private policies -- face a
challenge of our region. We want to institutionalize our mechanisms,
have a clear project for the next month of June. It would imply
mechanisms by means of which we will give the necessary importance and
long-term action, something constant, and continuity should be achieved,
as well. That has been fruitful and that can give very good results for
our region. We are not renegotiating what has been successful or open
the Free Trade Agreement. It's going beyond the agreement, both for
prosperity and security.

Summarizing, we have to increase competitiveness of our economies, of
our companies, our enterprises, our structures, and, likewise, our
technological and educational levels so as to face competition of other
blocs in the world. We have to homogenize normotivity standards so as to
have common standards to facilitate jobs and productivity. We have to
make borders much more modern with technology so as to guarantee
security, but the good flow of commodities and products. We have
invested a good amount of time to logistics, efficiency an efficacy in
customs, topics that have to do with sharing -- sharing these
efficiencies.

We are totally aware that we require infrastructure studies in the
borderline areas so as to analyze needs, to facilitate both trade and
passage of people and goods. This is fundamental -- security is
fundamental for our future development. It is a problem and a challenge
shared by the three countries. Migration can only be solved in that we
agree upon under the framework of a legislation that will guarantee our
legal order, safe and respectful migration, respecting the rights of
people.

We have spoken about the collaboration of the three countries to support
development and generation of opportunities for Central American
countries and the Caribbean-area countries. We have seen an excellent
level of relationships and these are giving steps forward. They're
better and better.

We have more points of coincidence amongst the three countries. I would
like to thank the attendance, the presence, in this beautiful port of
Cancun in this area of the Riviera Maya. You can see it is dynamic, a
beautiful place, as it always has been. We receive millions of tourists
every single year, people that come over, and we're proud to receive.

We want to thank President Bush, we want to thank Prime Minister Harper
-- my acknowledgment, my thanks, and my commitment. We shall be working
together, no doubt about it, to give steps forward in the field of
prosperity and security. May you have a happy return back home. Thank
you.

For the question and answer period, we have two questions for the
journalists of each country.

Q Good morning, Presidents and Prime Minister. President Fox, what are
the concrete measures that Mexico is implementing to guarantee this
indispensable security so as to have a legal, safe, and orderly
migration?

For President Bush and Prime Minister Harper, do you consider that there
should be a continuity on the economic policy in Mexico before the
change of President in our country? Last but not least, how can the
partners of NAFTA be competitive before the Asian countries if there are
so many differences that are leading us to talk first about security,
then productivity? And what are the unilateral decisions on migration
matters? Thank you.

PRESIDENT FOX: (As translated.) First, security. Many actions have been
implemented. Many actions have to do with close cooperation with the
security authorities with the United States. This effort, headed by the
Representative of Homeland Security, Mr. Chertoff, and Minister of the
Interior here in Mexico, Mr. Abascal, and the cooperation based upon
mutual trust, co-responsibility, and what has to do with security in the
borders.

Likewise, we're doing our own work in cases of homicides and crimes
among the different Mafias, the drug cartels. We shall continue working
on this. There's a presence federal forces in the main points in the
border, and then a great commitment to win the battle against organized
crime and drug trafficking, particularly in the city of Nuevo Laredo. We
have programs such as Programma OASISS, OASISS Program, so as to attack
the people that are trafficking with people, with migrants. And
fortunately, there are more than 120 in jail. And then we have a
permanent program, 24 hours a day, so as to achieve this.

We are working in the inner part and in the southern part of the country
to stop migration flows that come from Central America that are crossing
illegally the southern border of Mexico. And with all due respect to the
dignity of these people, respecting their human rights, they are
stopped; they remain on temporary bases and stations. They offer them
services with dignity, and then we send them back to their communities
of origin; 240,000 people that were detained, and then they were sent
back to Central America.

We are working jointly with the Central American governments. We have
spoken about the fact that the decision of Mexico is not only assuming
our responsibilities migration-wise, but we have a firm commitment of
generating jobs and employment. We're working jointly with Central
America so as to achieve this, so each country will absorb our
commitment, and our total commitment generating opportunities within our
own country.

And so this program, like the energy initiative for Central America, is
one that has the purpose of bringing development and growth to the
Central American economies. Thus we're working on a broad spectrum on
the issue of security in all of its facets.

PRESIDENT BUSH: I don't see how you can be prosperous if you don't have
security. I mean, it's -- if people are concerned that, for example, the
towns along the border aren't secure, it's going to be difficult to keep
prosperity alive. And so I appreciate the President's commitment to
security along our border, and we've got -- we share the same
commitment. It's very important to enforce laws. Robust economy depend
upon the rule of law, and therefore, when countries enforce law, it kind
of creates the conditions for continued economic growth.

When you have robust trade like we have, there are issues that come up.
One way to look at it is if we had no trade, there would be no issues.
And the more issues there are, and the more opportunities there are to
discuss them, the likelier it is these economies will continue to grow.
And so I don't -- I don't worry about having to deal with problems. As a
matter of fact, I view the problems that have arisen as a result of
complex and active trade is positive. And the fundamental question is,
can we resolve these issues in a responsible way? And one of the reasons
we meet is to put ourselves in a position to do so.

You mentioned something about the elections. I'm not going to talk about
them. The only thing I am going to talk about is, I love to have a
strong, vibrant democracy on our southern border. And I want to thank
the President for his strong leadership and his recognition that
democracy is a very important legacy of his administration, the previous
administration, and that we certainly hope there will be a peaceful
transition of power, and I'm confident there will be one.

PRIME MINISTER HARPER: (As translated) Obviously, I don't want to get
into the issue of Mexican politics, but I can say the same thing that I
said yesterday with regard to the leadership of President Fox. We've had
both bilateral and multilateral relationships progressively growing and
without precedent. I trust that the President is going to leave a
stronger economy that is shared, a firm democracy, respect for human
rights, and faithfulness to the most important principles for our shared
progress, for the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
and all the good results that come from a free market economy.

All of these things lead to more progress, which we hope the next
President will be able to build upon, which will benefit all of our
countries.

(Prime Minister Harper begins speaking English.) And I'll just repeat
that I, obviously, do not intend to make any comments or get myself
involved in Mexican politics, but I'll just repeat what I said
yesterday, which is that President Fox has provided unprecedented
leadership for both our bilateral and our trilateral relations,
unprecedented progressive leadership.

I believe that the legacy of that leadership will be to leave behind not
just the strong democracy that believes in liberty and human rights, but
also loyalty and adherence to the principles that are -- on which the
success of our integrated economy is based. And those are the principles
of NAFTA, the principles of our security and economic partnership, and,
of course, the advantages of free markets from which all of our nations
benefit.

Q Thank you. Mr. President, would you veto an immigration bill that did
not include a guest worker program? And how do you counter the angry
argument from conservatives on Capitol Hill who are saying that your
demand for one could hurt the Republican Party this fall?

PRESIDENT BUSH: The migration issue has been a topic of discussion here,
as you can imagine. I told the President exactly what I told our
country, that, one, I expect the debate to bring dignity to America, in
recognition that America is a land of immigrants, and people ought to be
treated with respect; and this debate ought to be a debate that does not
pit neighbor against neighbor; that focuses on three elements. One is
that we are a nation of laws and, therefore, must enforce our laws. And
that includes enforcing the laws of people coming into our country
illegally.

President Fox and I discussed this issue at length. I don't know if
people recognize, but his government, all aspects of the Mexican
government came together to send a clear message to the American people,
the Mexican government understands it has a responsibility, as well, to
protect the border. It is a nation of law. You heard the President talk
about not only enforcing the northern border, but also the southern
border.

I also have said to the American people that we must enforce our laws in
the interior of the country. Employers must be held to account if
they're employing the people in our country illegally. However, part of
the problem is -- that complicates the lives of our many employers who
are providing employment for people who are here illegally is that there
has been a lot of document forgery. There's an industry that has sprung
up, and part of that industry is to provide forged documents so that our
employers don't know whether a person is in our country legally, or not.

I also believe strongly that an important part of securing the border
and enforcing our laws is to recognize there are people in our country
doing work that Americans will not do. And those people ought to be
given a chance to have a tamper-proof card that enables them to work in
our country legally for a period of time. That's called a guest worker
program. One of the important issues about a guest worker program is,
what does that mean for someone's desire to become a citizen of our
country? I believe if someone has been here in our country illegally
they should not get at the head of the line if they want to become a
citizen. In other words, we have a line of people waiting, people who
are in our country legally waiting to become a citizen. And people who
have been in our country illegally should not get ahead of the line who
are there legally.

A nation of laws can also be a welcoming nation, and I believe a guest
worker program will help us rid the society and the border of these
coyotes who smuggle people in the back of 18-wheelers. I believe it will
help get rid of the document forgers. I believe it will help people on
both sides of our border respect the laws of our border and enforce our
borders. I believe it is important to bring people out of the shadows of
American society so they don't have to fear the life they live. I
believe it's important for our nation to uphold human rights and human
dignity. And the plan I've just proposed is one that will do all that
and achieve important objectives.

And I'm looking forward to working with the Congress. We're making the
-- I told the President, we're making progress. You know, there's a
legislative process. It's

-- some guy, some wag one time put it, it's like watching people make
sausage. It's kind of a -- you know, probably appears a little
unpleasant from your perspective. (Laughter.) But we're making progress.
And I want a comprehensive bill. And I've made that very clear to the
members of the Congress, and I will continue making it clear to members
of Congress.

Q -- (inaudible) --

PRESIDENT BUSH: So, no answer -- I said I want a comprehensive bill.
You're presuming there won't be a comprehensive bill; I believe there
will be a comprehensive bill.

Q Mr. President, can you explain to Canadians --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Which one?

Q That would be you, Mr. Bush.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Me.

Q Could you explain to Canadians why they'll need to have a passport or
an unspecified secure document before they cross over to the United
States? And what would the impact be on both of our countries,
economically, if Canada doesn't follow through by the deadline of the
end of next year?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I appreciate you bringing up this issue. This is an
issue, obviously, that affects not only border crossings with Canada, it
also affects border crossings with Mexico. The Congress passed the law
and I intend to enforce the law. But the law said there ought to be a
passport or a passport-like document that I believe, if properly
implemented, will facilitate travel and facilitate trade, not hinder
travel and trade. And the reason I believe that is I think we can be
wise about the use of technologies to -- envision a card that can be
swiped across a reading device that facilitates the movement of people.

It's a -- look, I understand this issue has created consternation. Your
Prime Minister made it very clear to me that he's very worried that such
a implementation of the law on the books will make it less likely people
will want to travel between our countries. I've heard from business
leaders who are concerned about the bookings for conventions. And so
what I've told the Prime Minister and told President Fox, as well, is
that we have an obligation to work very closely with our counterparts to
provide a set of standards as to what will meet the obligations of the
law.

Again, I repeat to you I believe this can be done in such a way that it
makes future travel, future relations stronger, not weaker.

PRIME MINISTER HARPER: Maybe I could just add to that. Obviously, we are
concerned. I expressed those concerns to President Bush. And I know
they've been expressed by Canadian business leaders, as well. The
President is confronted with legislation passed by Congress and has a
responsibility to act upon that legislation. And we understand that. We
understand the security concerns that are behind that.

At the same time, we're obviously concerned that if we don't move
quickly and properly on this, that this could have effects on trade and
movement of people, conventions, you name it, that is not helpful to our
economy or to relationships. So we've agreed that Minister Day and
Secretary Chertoff will meet as soon as possible to make this their top
priority.

Q Mr. President Fox, two questions. The first is our Senate last night
passed a law, and I'd like to know what you're going to do? Will you
veto that law, or will you leave the legislative packet to the next
President of our country? And second, you have spoken and you have
warned us Mexicans against populism and the demagogues who exist in
campaigns, in presidential campaigns, and that we are going through a
very difficult stage. I'd like to ask if you already forgot the populist
language that you used in your own presidential campaign when you even
talked about -- (inaudible) -- and things like that? What about talking
about democracy using a populist language in the past, but now you are
against candidates doing that.

PRESIDENT FOX: (As translated.) In reference to the first item, the
Ministry of the Interior will inform, on behalf of the federal
government, our position. And I celebrate -- I'm glad that both the
Congress, the lower chamber and the upper chamber, have exercised their
autonomy, their freedom. They have discussed and approved one more of
the many laws that have been approved in our country in this last five
years of democratic and respectful government -- the autonomies and the
independence on the other two powers. As never before, we have lived
this reality that has been positive, fruitful, in reference to the
application of our autonomy and constitutional freedom that all the
other powers have.

Now, in reference to the second item, I can only say

-- and I will say it very clearly -- from the second of July, and since
the second of July of the year 2000, there has been absolute freedom,
and that is of utmost importance for all of us. Every single person
should express according to his own decision and convenience, by all
means, respecting the rights of third parties. But above all this, we
have the freedom of both Mexicans, ladies and gentlemen, that work in
the mass media, press, newspapers, journals, TV. We have now a freedom
that we never had in the past. Every single citizen in our country
nowadays exercises this freedom openly. This is one of the great fruits
and results of democracy, won on the second of July of the year 2000.

Q President Bush, Secretary of State Rice is finding common ground with
the British today on the view that the next step against Iran could be
sanctions. Do you agree that's the way to go if Iran fails to comply
with the Security Council's 30-day deadline on its nuclear program?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thanks. First, I do want to offer my country's
assistance to the people affected by the recent earthquakes in Iran. We
obviously have our differences with the Iranian government, but we do
care about the suffering of Iranian people.

There is common agreement that the Iranians should not have a nuclear
weapon, the capacity to make a nuclear weapon, or the knowledge as to
how to make a nuclear weapon. And the reason there's common agreement is
because the Iranian government with such as weapon as is now constituted
would pose a serious threat to world security.

Condoleezza Rice is in Europe today to discuss with the P5 -- the
permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany a strategy
to go forward in a unified way that says to the Iranian government, the
world rejects your desires to have a nuclear weapon. Condi is
strategizing with those who will be making the U.N. Security Council
decisions as to that united front. In other words, we agree on a goal;
now the question is, how do we work together to achieve that goal. And
you're watching Secretary of State Rice work with our friends to remind
the Iranians on a regular and consistent basis that if they want to be
-- participate in the international order of things, if they don't want
to isolate themselves, they must listen very carefully to what we are
saying with unified voice.

Q My question is to President Fox, and I wonder if we could prevail upon
you, sir, to answer it in English. A few weeks ago, there was a very
bloody murder here with the Ianiero family in Cancun. Two young Canadian
mothers are very concerned back in Canada that Mexican authorities have
mistakenly made them suspects amidst concerns also in Canada the
Mexicans may have bungled this investigation. Can you tell us where this
investigation is going, and can you assure those two young women,
indeed, they are not suspects?

PRESIDENT FOX: (As translated.) Well, we are absolutely sorry and we
have our, well, feelings that a crime has been carried out here in a
hotel in Cancun. The attorneyship office is working, both the federal
one and the local one -- they're working on the investigation. When the
data is ready and when they finally decide, we can claim which are the
guilty people. As of now, that is the only information we have at hand.
We're working closely. We are reporting to the government and the
authorities of Canada. Investigation is being carried out. So far we
cannot make any further comments. Thank you.

PRIME MINISTER HARPER: -- say that we do appreciate the full cooperation
of the Mexican government, Mexican police at all levels. There has been
consultation with our officials, and I've spoken to the RCMP, and they
assure me that that has been the case, particularly since the
commitments made by Secretary Derbez in Ottawa. So we are working
together in this, we're fully apprised of the situation. I can just add
one small thing, which is that we're told once again, and I think we've
been saying this repeatedly for some time, there is no extradition
pending

-- extradition demand pending, nor is there one anticipated in the near
future. And that's probably about all I can say.
